raynoxdcr250-1451 I can't believed it's been over a month since the last time I posted a photo of the day. Today's photo is a close-up of a dandelaion which was taken using a Canon EOS 60d and Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 SP Lens with a Raynox DCR-250. The Raynox DCR-250 conversion lens enabled me to move in closer to the subject by cutting short my lens's minimum focusing distance. The DCR-250 can be attached to any lens with a filter size of 52mm to 67mm. Please click here to read the review and learn more about the Raynox DCR-250.

To Users of the EF200mm f/2L IS USM and EF800mm f/5.6L IS USM Lenses with the Canon EOS 5D Mark III Digital SLR Camera.

Thank you for using Canon products.

We have confirmed that when the EF200mm f/2L IS USM and some units of the EF800mm f/5.6L IS USM lenses are used with the Canon EOS 5D Mark III Digital SLR Camera, the Lenses may emit an abnormal noise.

The Canon EOS 5D Mark III Digital SLR Camera does not need to be repaired as a result of this phenomenon.

The support measures for this phenomenon have been decided and they are as described below.

Phenomenon
If either of the Lenses is attached to the camera with the Image Stabilizer switch on the Lenses set to ON, the Image Stabilizer will synchronize with the autofocusing (AF) function and an abnormal noise may occur. This abnormal noise does not affect captured images. 
This phenomenon only occurs when the camera is used with either of the Lenses, and does not occur when the camera is used with other lenses.

Affected Products

EF800mm f/5.6L IS USM Lens
